Keeping the Pants On… and Up

March 17th, 2009 @ 6:11 pm by Mrs. Latte

Head out of the gutter, hive! We’re talking suspenders here.

I know, not as exciting. I wasn’t excited either… until I saw pictures like these:

These guys crack me up

Love the shade and suspender combo

Having our groomsmen sport suspenders wasn’t my idea. Mr. Latte must’ve been feeling left out and neglected while listening to me go on and on about the bridesmaids’ dresses, shoes, and hair accessories. After reading Miss Peep Toe and Miss Stiletto’s cute Chuck ideas, I was going to suggest doing something similar, when he busted out with this suspender idea. Brilliant!

We decided that he will wear dark pink suspenders and the groomsmen will wear them in light pink. Our ring boys will also get in on the fun, and we’re thinking of having them wear dark pink like Mr. Latte, or maybe even moss green or chocolate brown ones to round out our wedding colors.

We’re also going to get each person a matching pair of colored socks for fun pictures like these:

I love the argyle look!

How FUN does this look???

You won’t believe how difficult it’s been to find pink men’s suspenders! I’ve searched high and low in stores (department stores, men’s specialty stores, TJ Maxx, Marshall’s) and online with little success. :(

Anyone else fancying up the groomsmen with suspenders and/or colored socks? Any suggestions on where to go suspender-shopping?

You should do an Alchemy request on Etsy! I have had great luck with it. The idea is really cute!

I’ve been looking all over for pink/peach/coral argyle socks for the guys and can’t find a thing…though my searching skills are pretty weak. Can’t wait to see if there are any good recommendations!

They have light pink suspenders. But I bet with prom coming if you search prom wear that might bring up some colored suspenders.

I found cute colored socks in LA actually at a sock store at Hollywood Walk? so try a tourist locale in your area.

Too cute :) Mr. SR will be wearing suspenders, but not by his choice, by the recommendation of Men’s Wearhouse.

This is a UK site, but has pink suspenders (or braces as they are called across the pond!). They appear to do free international shipping if you spend over GBP28.

Also try Thomas Pink for amazing multicoloured socks: http://www.thomaspink.com

Good luck finding the suspenders… this sounds like a really fun idea :)
